Quite the wordsmith. You're the one who seems to have difficulty reading as you seem obsessed with my argument that him not being a disqualified director in the jurisdiction where he encountered the tax issue is relevant. I never said this was conclusive to the SFA decision, which you somehow appear to have misunderstood and distorted my words accordingly. You were the one who said it was irrelevant. In any event, you've made an arse of yourself so many times on here I'm not sure why I am even bothering!

Guidelines are guidelines. The SFA exercises it's discretion in light of the facts before it. The examples in the guidelines are illustrative only. One of the facts before the SFA will be that he is able to be a company director in South Africa, the jurisdiction in which the tax related offences took place. Only an idiot would think that's not one of the relevant factors the SFA will consider.

Haha I knew someone would bite at that. Someone with a sense of humour bypass that is. -
Rangers Vs Hearts

Yes, they had to pay all football debts. Peculiar question. Great to see the team working hard again. Hearts weren't allowed much time on the ball in dangerous areas of the pitch. Law looked like a different player - played very intelligently. Murdoch is a real bonus for us. Clark and miller worked their socks off. Wallace was a constant threat first half. Promising stuff but we need to put a run together to try to secure second and take that form into the playoffs. -

Very harsh booking for bell there! Interesting sub by McCall. Bit of faith in younger players... -

2-0 good finish by vuckic there. Rangers pressing hearts well. -
No need to exaggerate the new boards actions. Deloitte resigned as auditors while the old board was in charge. The nomad that was in place was clearly incompetent given the goings on at the company on their watch. They were clearly in the old boards pocket so I don't buy this nonsense that they resigned out of principle or concerns about the new board.
-
There's no doubt that losing the AIM listing is a big blow to the credibility of the new board. The board statement doesn't clearly state that, at the time of kings statement, a nomad had agreed to be appointed subject to further due diligence. Would like the board to clarify this. I don't think the consequences are the end of the world but it obviously makes the shares less accessible. In some respects, this may be good I suppose.
-
You can't blame the board for the previous issues with the nomads. I don't think it will be as simple as thplinths explanation that the shares are just worthless. It may be difficult to have the company re listed but I would be very surprised if there is not a mechanism to do so. Essentially, it seems that, if that does not occur, it's just like having shares in a company that is not publicly listed.

Did the snp not agree to the adjective "decisive" with respect to the result prior to the referendum ? -

It's a bit simplistic to say that people born in the rest of the UK have chosen to live here and are not Scottish. There will be plenty of people born in the rest of the UK who at the time of birth would have classified themselves Scottish and then moved to Scotland in later life. And vice versa. -
Guidetti
bruce778 replied to Squirrelhumper's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Well I'm sure the compliance officer will apply the "squirrelhumper subjective test" when he prosecutes Guidetti.Daft thing for Guidetti to sing - obviously Celtic will defend it, but given their previous for defending pretty much everything that doesn't really shed any light on their prospects. Difficult for SFA to ignore this given the views of the likes of NBM on the word. I think the word is used differently by different supporters which is evident in this thread. -
Familiarity Breeds Contempt
bruce778 replied to kps022000's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Haha those last two sentences patronising much? As for deila, how does Celtics points tally this season compare to previous seasons? I would think it would be a fair bit lower. -
Mccall Takes Rangers Job
bruce778 replied to GRBear's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Agreed - it's a bonus if your manager does a good job and he happens to be a club legend. It was a factor in his appointment though and I understand why the board made it a factor. Aside from that, there were very few potential candidates for the job.
